    The mammalian transport system consists of blood plasma, tissue fluid, lymph, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Blood plasma is a pale yellow fluid made up of water, nutrients, waste products, and plasma proteins. Tissue fluid is similar to blood plasma but with fewer plasma proteins. Lymph forms as tissue fluid drains into lymphatic vessels and contains 10% of tissue fluid along with larger protein molecules. Red blood cells are biconcave discs that carry hemoglobin and lack organelles, while white blood cells have nuclei and phagocytic or immune functions and exist in several types. Together this system transports nutrients, wastes, proteins, and immune cells throughout the body.

    CHAPTER 8.

    THE MAMMALIAN
    TRANSPORT SYSTEM

    Blood plasma
    Tissue fluid
    Lymph
    Red blood cells
    White blood cells

    BLOOD
    PLASMA

    Pale yellow fluid


    Made up of :

    Water
    Nutrients
    Waste products
    Plasma proteins

    TISSUE
    FLUID

    Blood plasma with fewer plasma protein


    Red blood cells too large
    White blood cells some can squeeze
    through

    Lower osmotic
    pressure
    Blood pressure
    high

    LYMPH

    10% tissue fluid return to blood system by


    lymphatics
    Valves allowing large protein molecules to
    pass through
    Protein conc + rate of loss in plasma =
    Protein conc + rate of loss in tissue fluid

    MOVEMENTS
    Muscles around vessels
    Valves
    Smooth muscles in walls

    Lymph nodes

    Remove unwanted
    particles

    Secretes
    antibodies

    RED BLOOD
    CELLS
    (ERYTHROCYTES)

    Red
    Globular protein
    Foetus liver
    born bone marrow
    Rupture in spleen

    Biconcave disc shape


    Very small haemoglobin close to surface
    Flexible have specialised cytoskeleton
    No nucleus, no mitochondria, no ER

    WHITE BLOOD
    CELL
    (LEUCOCYTES)

    Have nucleus
    Larger than red blood cells
    Spherical or irregular

    Lobed
    nucleus
    Phagocytes

    WBC
    Lymphocytes

    Granular
    cytoplasm
    Large round
    nucleus

    END.
